pH Meter using Arduino Uno and LCD Display The pH scale is used to measure the acidity and basicity of a liquid. It can have readings ranging from 0-14, where 0 shows the most acidic liquid and 14 shows the most basic liquid. 7 pH is for neutral substances that are neither acidic nor basic. Now, pH plays a very important role in our lives, and it is used in various applications. For example, it can be used in a… |

Tips and Techniques for Designing Small Circuit Boards to Shrink PCB Size For any electronic product, be it a complex mobile phone or any other simple low-cost Electronics toy, Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) is an essential component. In a product development cycle, design cost management is a huge issue and PCB is the most neglected and costlier component on the BOM. PCB costs much more than any other component used in a circuit, so reducing the… |

How to Properly Terminate an unused OP-Amp to Avoid Noise and Power Related Issues An op-amp plays a very crucial role when it comes to designing circuits with analogue components. But while implementing such op-amp based circuits, there are situations where one or more op-amps are left unused, this causes undesirable behaviour in one or all of those unused op-amps thus impacting total system performance. To avoid this type of… |

Introduction to Impedance Matching and How to use an Impedance Matching Transformer for your Design If you are an RF Design Engineer or anyone who has worked with Wireless Radios, the term “Impedance Matching” should have struck you more than once. The term is crucial because it directly affects the transmission power and thus the range of our Radio modules. This article aims to help you understand what Impedance Matching is from the basics and will also help you to design… |

AC Current Measurement using Current Transformer and Arduino A current transformer is a type of instrumental transformer specially designed to transform alternating current in its secondary winding, and the amount of current produced is directly proportional to the current in the primary winding. This type of current transformer is designed to non-invisibly measure current from the high voltage subsystem or where a high amount of… |
